Floppy mount under mandy 2007

[fahd]

Unfortunately mandy 2007 does handle the floppy drive correctly. When i insert a floppy disk the supermount mount it in /mnt/floppyx, where x is a number from 1 to unlimited number. In the past mandrake had a good job in automatic mount, especially for the floppy drives. What we need is to acheive our goal and get the mount floppy disk in /mn/floppy. fstab contains the following:

 

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-2,sync,codepage=852 0 0

 

Any help. Thanks a lot.

For years, KDE has had its own method for handling floppies. First, open /etc/fstab in a text editor as root and change the relevant line to read like this:

Code:

 

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto umask=0,users,noauto,iocharset=utf8,sync 0 0

 

Now right-click your KDE desktop and choose: Create New > Link to Device > Floppy Device...

 

In the Device tab, choose /dev/fd0 and click OK.

 

From now on, after inserting a floppy, you may right-click that icon and choose Mount. The icon will change to show that the device is mounted and a window should pop up asking what to do. When done, just right-click that icon again and choose Unmount.
